Riherp has no performance skill whatsoever.

And her voice is subpar at best.

A shame she will be remembered.

Yeah, but in reality, average numbers kind of like...don't matter. If you consistently put massive smashes on the table, your flops are irrelevant.

That's true, but you're missing the point. Katy has achieved so much in comparison to Rihanna with less than half the amount of albums. She isn't to be underestimated.

Katy is already on that ass as we speak, all of Katys hits are bigger than Rihannas.

Katy has sold like 30 million singles from 5 releases.

Still, Rihanna seems to average 10-15M+ singles per year + ~3M album sales per year.

I see The Monster, Diamonds, LTWYL, WFL, Umbrella, Only Girl, Take A Bow, Disturbia, and more

These are all bigger than every Beyst song except Telephone (feat. Beyonce).

Legends are supposed to be good at their craft but Rihanna will be the first to become legend due solely to sales.

People dont even call Mariah a legend and she is constantly called the best selling this and that, they mention her sales every 5 minutes along with her #1 singles.

And she actually had talent and acclaim, do you think people will call Rihanna a legend?

Stop reaching sis.

Girl you don't become a legend by sales alone girl.
And only stats that look good on paper.

Beyoncé is still destroying Gaga. So is Rihanna. We should prob not.

I know. Hence why I said most of her songs will have been forgotten as time goes on.
Out of all of her songs, WFL will probably be remembered, and Umbrella. Hell I can barely recall most of her songs from past years to now. Take A Bow will not be remembered. Rude Boy is forgotten. S&M was number one, no one talks about it. It can go on and on with her because, as you said, she doesn't care about the music. Only the fame and status the music brings her.

SOS
Umbrella
DSTM
Disturbia
Only Girl
LTWYL
LYL
Whats My Name
WFL
Diamonds
Stay

That's 10+ songs that are definitely not going to be forgotten for a while (or at all). She has more memorable hits than any pop girl aside from Madonna.

And the last time I checked Katy is pretty much the lead artist on all of her records unlike Rihanna.

Nippy'sReceipts

Def Jam wont allow Katy to get ahead. They'll lash her into doing albums/lead singles every November and February if thats what it takes

She gains #1s and sells faster than Rihanna. Prism is 2 mil WW already and I'm sure Roar will outsell all the singles from Unapologetic (that's if it hasn't already). If she hopped on features it'd be a wrap.

Yes, Roar had already outsold Diamonds and Stay, and is on its way to outselling WFL as well.

I will say that I think Rihanna has very few truly memorable songs. I would argue that every single one of her hits released so far could get left behind other than Umbrella. I really don't know how she'll pan out as an icon, but I'm sure she'll be unmatched on paper.

Kinda like how Beyonce's first three weeks WW have each been bigger than any Rihanna has ever seen.

Summer

There is nothing iconic about Rihanna though. Like, nothing at all.

Ainsworth

Rihanna is still an icon tho. She'll never be a legend but she's undoubtedly going to be remembered.

Yes. Not to mention she co-writes on each of them. Which is why when it's all said and done, even if Rihanna sells more records than Gaga, Taylor, Beyonce, Katy, etc. she will still have the smallest net worth and empire.
